When putting the cast control arms and and CQ ball joints into the "narrow fendered" 90 chassis, the wheel is positioned too far forward in the wheel well and too far outboard in the fender. Basicly, it's hits in the front and the fender lip. It's due to the offset of the ball joint the CQ uses.BTDT.
You may however be able to use a different ball joint, I don't know.

i'm taking the motor and trans (20v) out of a 89 coupe, and planting it in
a 88 audi 90. i was out playing in our latest blizzard and put it over a curb,
bending the control arm and showing a scary hole in the frame. i decided if
i'm changing that much i might as well go the distance instead of ripping it
apart twice. the frame on the coupe is in nice shape and the control arms are a
much nicer design.i was hoping to use them too instead of dismantling the power
pac from the motor and trans. steel lobes. Just different enough not to >
